Browser Events

This event is invoked for every widget when the widget position and dimensions are computed.

Syntax

doLayout()

Read/Write

Read + Write

Remarks

This event is invoked for all the widgets placed inside flex containers. This event is invoked in the order in which the widgets are added to the widget hierarchy and expect the frame property of the widget is calculated and available for use within this event.

This event is used to set the layout properties of child widgets in the relation to self and peer widgets whose layout is not yet performed.

The number of times this event invoked may vary per platform. It is not recommended to write business logic assuming that this function is invoked only once when there is a change in positional or dimensional properties. This event will not trigger when transformations are applied though widget is moved or scaled or rotated from its original location.

Example

//Sample code to set doLayout event callback to a button widget.
/*This code changes the top property of button2 and makes it appear below button1.*/
myForm.button1.doLayout=doLayoutButton1;

function doLayoutButton1(){
      
    myForm.button2.top = myForm.button1.frame.height;
}

An event callback which gets invoked by the platform before browser widget navigates to a new URL.

Syntax

handleRequest()

Optional Parameters

eventobject

Optional. A unique Id that identifies the browser widget.

params

Optional. An object that identifies the url parameters as key-values pair.

Following are the parameters of the object.

originalURL [String] - Optional

Specifies the original url.

q_ueryParams[Object]_ - Optional

Specifies the dictionary containing the query parameters passed to the URL as key, values in the dictionary.

requestMethod[String] - Optional - Supported only on iOS

Specifies the request method type. Following are the available options:

• Constants.BROWSER_REQUEST_METHOD_GET
• Constants.BROWSER_REQUEST_METHOD_POST

header[JSObject] - Optional - Supported only on iOS

Specifies a dictionary containing all the HTTP header fields.

Read/Write

Write only

Remarks

This is useful in scenarios where the developer wants to keep track of the URLs that the browser field navigates to. For example, in a payment flow (that is, being executed inside a browser widget) on successful redirection to a payment confirmation page the developer would like to take the user to a new native form.

On iOS platform, whenever handleRequest is set to browser and request comes to browser widget to load the url or.html, then before loading the content, handle request is called. Also, whenever a user selects any hyperlink then also handleRequest is called.

The return value from this function determines how the browser widget handles the original request. If a false value is returned, then the browser widget continues navigation to the original URL and if the true value is returned then the developer has to handle the request.

The handleRequest event is not triggered for the web pages that change the HTML content dynamically within the same page. For example, SPA apps.

The handleRequest event is not triggered for the bookmark navigation on the same page in the Android platform.

Example

//The below function is the call back for handleRequest event
function handleRequestCallback(browserWidget, params) {
    voltmx.print("handleRequest event triggered");
    voltmx.print("Original URL" + params["originalURL"]);
    voltmx.print("Request Method" + params["requestMethod"]);
    voltmx.print("Header" + JSON.stringify(params["header"]));
    //Ignore this request and continue loading other URLs.
    return false;
    //If false is returned, platform will load the originalurl in the browser widget.
}

frmobj.brw1.handleRequest = handleRequestCallback

• errorMessage – error message
• errorDetails – platform specific error details
• httpStatusCode - Actual HTTP status code. For iOS this will be set to -1.

All errors reported by this callback:

This event is called only for the given request URL, but not for the subsequent web navigation request failures.

This event is also not called when htmlString is set to the web widget.

Example

// This function is the callback for the onFailure event that checks for iOS native error -999
function onFailureCallback(eventObj, error) {
	if (error.errorCode !== 1011) { 
		// native error -999 is mapped to error 1011.
		voltmx.print("Unable to display report.");
	}

This event registers a callback that notifies the application that a loading URL has been flagged by Safe Browsing. If this event callback is not registered, the application displays a default interstitial page.

Handler signature

onSafeBrowsingHit()

Parameters

• browserwidgetref [widgetref]: This parameter provides the widget reference of the Browser widget that has triggered the onSafeBrowsingHit event.
• requestUrl[String]: This parameter provides the URL which triggered the onSafeBrowsingHit event.

• threatType [Number]: This parameter specifies the reason why the requestUrl parameter is a threat.

  The following constant are applicable for this parameter:

  • constants.BROWSER_SAFE_BROWSING_THREAT_UNKNOWN
  • constants.BROWSER_SAFE_BROWSING_THREAT_MALWARE
  • constants.BROWSER_SAFE_BROWSING_THREAT_PHISHING
  • constants.BROWSER_SAFE_BROWSING_THREAT_UNWANTED_SOFTWARE

Remarks

• You should use the onSafeBrowsingHit callback and the setSafeBrowsingResponse Method together to create a custom interstitial page when the Browser widget loads a flagged URL.

Example

/*Sample snippet for creating a custom interstitial flexContainer inside the form:frmBrowser with the browser widget:myBrowser*/
//setting safebrowsing hit callback
frmBrowser.myBrowser.onSafeBrowsingHit = onSafeBrowsingHitForCustomInterstition;
var reqUrl;

function onSafeBrowsingHitForCustomInterstition(widget, requestUrl, threatType) {
    reqUrl = requestUrl; //getting SafeBrowsingPrivacyPolicyUrl to display the link in custom interstitial page.
    var doc = voltmx.ui.BrowserSettings.getSafeBrowsingPrivacyPolicyUrl();
    frmBrowser.richtext.text = "<p>Its a custom message for Google Safe Browsing which has detected malware." + "<a href=" + doc + "><font color=\"blue\">Learn more/font></a></p>";
    //making the interstitial flexContainer visible in onSafeBrowsingHit event callback.
    frmBrowser.flexCustomInterstition.isVisible = true;
}

function proceed_button_click(eventobject) { //making the interstitial flexContainer invisible after clicking proceed button
    frmBrowser.flexCustomInterstition.isVisible = false;
    frmBrowser.browserID.setSafeBrowsingResponse(reqUrl, constants.BROWSER_SET_SAFEBROWSING_RESPONSE_PROCEED);
}

function backtosafety_button_click(eventobject) { //making custom interstitial flexContainer invisible after clicking backtosafety button.
    frmBrowser.flexCustomInterstition.isVisible = false;
    frmBrowser.browserID.setSafeBrowsingResponse(reqUrl, constants.BROWSER_SET_SAFEBROWSING_RESPONSE_BACKTOSAFETY);
}

The screenshot of the custom interstitial FlexContainer created by using the Example code is as follows.
